If you thought Friday was freaky get ready for Opposite Day, a hilarious new comedy starring funny man Pauly Shore and Ariel Winter and Rico Rodriguez from TV’s “Modern Family” that puts the kids in charge and the adults in their place. Nine year old Sammy and his eight year old sister Carla go on vacation with their grandparents when their overworked parents are unable to take them. On the first night of their mountain vacation, Sammy makes a childlike wish, “I wish kids ruled the world.” Little did Sammy know what he was about to make happen!

Plus, here are a few more FREE ideas on how to celebrate this silly day with your little ones:

– Attempt to ride their bike or scooter (and let them snap a photo as evidence).

– Take them to the grocery store and let them “shop” for dinner. Just be prepared to eat Cheez-Its and marshmallows.

– Let them “read” you a bedtime story. Even kids that aren’t reading yet can tell you a story based on pictures in the book.

– Switch favorite mugs/cups. While you might not want to drink your latte out of a sippy cup, you’ll get some laughs when you drink water from one while the kids drink milk from a coffee mug.

– Use opposite names all day. They can go by Mr. or Mrs. or just call them Mom or Dad.

– Exchange chores. Let them sweep or mop or fold clothes while you make their bed and put away toys. (Wait, you do that anyway? Well, then just sit there and color while they do the housework!)

– Let them take dozens of pictures of you throughout the day and send them to grandma, aunties and best friends.

– Head to the playground and have them push you on the swing and cheer you as you slide.

– Switch clothes: Tie a scarf or necktie on their waist or in their hair while you wear a tutu as a scarf or head to work with a pirate patch on your eye.
